We are committed to continually improving our business activities to achieve the highest standards of sustainability, in line with our Environmental Commitment.
While improving the environmental performance of our manufacturing operations is vital, most of our ecological impacts arise elsewhere in our value chain—in particular, in tobacco growing and curing, and consumer waste. Working collaboratively with tobacco growers, suppliers, retailers, NGOs, and governments is critical to achieving our environmental targets.
